CAUTHE 2018 Conference – Final call for papers and registration live

October 22, 2017

Get smart: Paradoxes and possibilities in tourism, hospitality and events

We are delighted to announce the final call for papers for the 28th Annual Council for Australasian Tourism and Hospitality Education (CAUTHE) Conference being hosted by the University of Newcastle in the beautiful coastal city of Newcastle, New South Wales, from 5-8 February 2018. The theme of the CAUTHE 2018 conference is Get Smart: Paradoxes and Possibilities in Tourism, Hospitality and Events. This theme encourages researchers to engage a critical lens on the creation and generation of knowledge in tourism, hospitality and events. Download final call for papers.

CAUTHE 2018 acknowledges that the process of building knowledge – and getting smart about tourism, hospitality and events – can generate a series of paradoxes, ironies and juxtapositions that challenge conventions and create alternative ways of knowing. We call for innovative theoretical and empirical studies contributions focusing on how tourism, hospitality and events are experienced and developed. We also encourage papers on teaching, curriculum, and pedagogical research.
